Universal Audio Apollo x16D Ultimate+

Thunderbolt 3 16x16 audio interface with Dante

Ultimate+ edition with 100 UA plug-ins included

The Apollo x16D is the perfect solution for both live events and modern networked recording studios, offering the sonic excellence typical of the Apollo series and the ability to use UAD plug-ins in real time thanks to Thunderbolt and Dante connections.

This device facilitates the management and recording of live performances by providing a wide assortment of plug-ins that exceeds a total of 100 UAD Plug-Ins, including esteemed emulations of Neve, SSL, the famous LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and the timeless Auto-Tune.

Apollo x16D is designed for those working with live audio and for studios equipped with network recording systems. With its 16 Dante channels, high-class audio conversion, and the impressive power of the HEXA core DSP processor, this unit ensures smooth execution of UAD plug-ins in real time.

The Apollo x16D's sophisticated digital mixing system streamlines input, output, and plug-in management operations, making the mix setup procedure fast and intuitive. In addition, it is easy to store and restore plug-in settings using the MIDI protocol.

With the ability to connect up to four Apollo x16D devices, a networked Dante audio system capable of handling up to 64 channels can be created. This setup provides the advantage of redundancy, thus increasing the stability and security of the audio system. For those who already have an Apollo Thunderbolt system, expansion via Dante technology is possible, taking advantage of one of the most reliable and low-latency audio networking solutions available on the market.

Two types of connections are required to connect an Apollo x16D to a host computer:

• Thunderbolt connection: you need to connect the Apollo x16D to the computer via a Thunderbolt cable. You can serially connect Apollo devices, including Apollo x16Ds, to the host computer in any order.
• It is important to note that the series of Apollo devices must only be connected to a Thunderbolt port on the host computer.
• Ethernet network connection: the Apollo x16D must be connected to the computer via an Ethernet cable, which can be connected directly or through a Dante-compatible Ethernet switch. An Ethernet adapter for the host computer may be required to make this connection.
